arrested at Slaughter, Saturday fore.
noon, by Deputy Sheriff James NJ.
Qrilter and conveyed back to Seattle.
Before Scherbring died the assassin

statement was also made by the dying
man under oath, i'll which he alleged
that friedrich was the party who shot
him, giving the full particulars of the
affair. The murderer was arraigned
before the death of his victim, which
occurred at s 80 o'clock Saturday
evening, in Justice Jones court, on
the charge of assault with intent to
commit murder, and was held without
bail. The news spread through the
city that Friedrich was on trial in the
Justices court and large crowd
gathered in the Office and the street in
front OF it. Cries Of Lynch him" were
frequent. An attempt was made to
remove the prisoner by the rear door
and the crowd seeug this surged
around into the alley. The Sheriff
took the man into the rear room until
the crowd had cleared the office when
he was rushed out the front door to a
closed carriage and was hurried to
the county Jail and placed in an inner
cell

When it became generally known
that the Puget Sound & Gray's Har-
Dor Railroad Company was not salts
fled with its terminal facilities at KAN
ilche, on Little Skookum Bay, on ac-
count OF shallow water, and had made
up its mind to locate the northern
terminus of the road elsewhere, the
people of Olympia at once commenced
agitating the question of securing its
location on the west side of Budd's In
let, where there is deep water at all
stages of the tide. After the usual
agitation it became clear that every
body at the Capital City was in favor
OF making an atlort, and accordingly a
committee consisting of George A.
Barnes, retired banker; John F.
Convey, late Register of the Land Of
flee; A. II. Chambers, Mayor of Olym-
pia, was appointed to wait of Captain
William RentOn, and ascertain what
could be done in that direction. The
Committee arrived here at noon yester-
day, and went directly to Polt Blakley.
On their return Mr.. Convey was met
by Post-InteHigencer reporter, to
whom, in response to numerous ques-
tons, MIR. Convey said: 1--WE were
Hospitality received by Captain Rem
ton, who listened with marked interest
to what We had to say. Before leaving
home We ascertained what inducements
the people were willing to offer to
secure the road, and We made direct
business proposition to Captain Rem
ton. After we had concluded our lit
tie speech, the Captain said he was
pleased to see our people manifesting
SO much interest in the road, and that
he would submit the proposition We
had made to his partners, Messrs.
Holmes and Ham. He further stated
that those gentlemen would both be
here in August, when they would go
to Olympia and look over the ground
that he would have looked it over long
ago, but that he was blind, and in i'm
portant matters like that he always al
lowed his partners to use their eyes
for him. We feel that our trip has
not been in vain, and that Olym-
pia will ultimately be the termi-
nus of the Olympia and Chehalis Val
ley road and the Puget Sound and
Gray's Harbor line"

MASONIC SALOON.KEEPERs.
A Split In the Order in Missouri Owe
tho Recent Verdict.


ST. LOUIS, July 16.-A split in the
grand lodge of Free and Accepted Ma
sons in Missouri has taken II sensa-
tional turn in this city. In answer to
a circular issued by the friends of Ii
quor dealers who are now Masons in
good standing, meeting was held in
Masonic hall Thursday night, and it
was decided to resist the grand masters
order Of expulsion. The Masonic fra
ternity of the State is now divided in
to two fractions-those in favor OF re-
fusing to admit new saloOn-keeping
members but opposed to expelling
those already in, and those i'll favor OF
making clean sweep of those now in
and refusing to take i'll any new ones.
Steps to enforce the order by expelling
saloon-keeping members have been Ia
ken. and in rebuttal the saloon-keepers
and their friends have gotten up a
systematic plan of resistance. 1t is
proposed by them to petition the
grand lodge to so far modify the YER
dict as not to reach saloon-keepers al
ready in the order; and failing in theil
attempt to move the grand lodge it is
their intention to take their grievances

THE Pioneer Press in a somewhat
lengthy article advocates still fur
ther reduction in postage The arti-
Gle does not reflect the sentiment Of
this vicinity. What We are howfing
for is not cheaper postage but more
.of It. In other words, we would like
very much to receive our mail at least
once a week. The service we are
receiving is ridiculous. Forinstance,
last Tuesday the trains were bloclad-
ed in Minnesota and ia consequence
we received no eastern mail that day.
Next day the tfains got through, but
still we received no mail, and the day
following was fepetion Of its prede-
cessor As soon as the mail car got
TO heraee.4 frasea l- the ess. il Was sent
back with mail from that point, and as
there was nd mail clerk to Send south
our mail lay over in Aberdeen. This
is repeated time aftef time wheSeVer
there happens to be delay III the
trains and we are getting heartily sick
oft. It has been four days since we
could send letter east by the Usual
route.
